Former top legal advisor in Iraq to speak at Ohio State
COLUMBUS — Marc Warren, former staff judge advocate for coalition forces in Iraq, will speak on "Legal Support in Wartime: Reflections of a Judge Advocate" on Monday, February 11, at noon at Saxbe Auditorium in the Moritz College of Law.
Warren, now deputy chief counsel for operations at the Federal Aviation Administration, served as senior legal counsel to Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, commander of coalition forces in Iraq in 2003-04.
This was the first full year of the Iraq War, when American forces set up the Iraqi constitution and captured Saddam Hussein, and when the counterinsurgency took root and the Abu Ghraib scandal became public.
Warren will reflect on his experiences as a judge advocate during this critical period. The event is sponsored by the Mershon Center for International Security Studies and the Ohio State Moritz College of Law.
